- In the next 40 years we'll need to produce as much food as we did over the past 8,000 years. But as our population grows, the resources we need are shrinking and so farmers and scientists around the world are finding new solutions to feed us all.

We actually produce enough food for 10 billion people. The problem is that most of it ends up on the trash. A waste of resources and the rotting food releases a lot of greenhouse gases.
You are correct 😭
probably we cant be effficient
that's not the only solution. We eat so much meat that 70% of what we grow actually feeds our cattle, not humans
Tiago Manuel Torres do you eat grass or field corn?
True, and people eat a lot. Some people eat three meals a day for fuck sake. Why? Are you an NFL player?
"Im only one person. My actions alone wont do anything," said 10 billion people.
balonglong100 everyone counts. If you don’t think so then you might as well take yourself out of the population.
Lol there's only 7.7 billion people... nice try
@@Monileak4 lol, then maybe we won't see 10 billion...
Smartest statement so far.
damn that's poetic
How to Feed 10 Billion People??
Make the supermarkets NOT throw half of their (still perfectly edible) food every week.
More like make people eat less, and eat only local fruits and vegetables. Not bring fruits from abroad such as avocado. Also make people buy only what they need
they throw it away because it could make people sick. That is what is meant by expired Otherwise they would love to keep it.
@@sleverlight yes. If people only ate brown bread, brown rice, beans, vegetables, meats, grains, olive oil, fruits and vegetable there would be enough land to feed 20 billion. Stop eating rubbish like sugar.
@Edmund two totally different issues altogether. No one is starving to death in Australia and if they are, they can go to a food shelter for the poor for a feed. The issue that is facing supermarkets is spoilt food and if people ate it, and get sick, and if they do, they will sue. That is why the supermarkets throw it away. The risk for them is too high. However, leftovers are now being given to Ozharvests to be given to the poor- at their own risks.
Letuce??.........I want the insect protein that I was promised.
I heard "Nobel Prize for Peas" instead of Peace at first 😂

people are that hungry
By 2050, Real estate is going to be a lot more expensive.
Zachary Laid Finding Freedom I’m counting on it
Lol that'll be the last of the worries of whoever is still around, IF any humans are still around by then.
Zachary Laid Finding Freedom we literally own nothing if it can be taken once it's paid for over "property taxes"
*Specially Agricultural Lands*
That is a normalcy bias statement. The reason a Commodity is more expensive in the future is because a person in the future is willing to pay a higher price. With so many baby boomers and Den Xers retiring that means millennials and gen z will have to buy at those prices. Since there is less of them compared to the other two , prices of land will be higher , but not at the same rate as it was in the past 40 years. The same thing goes for the stock market somebody in the future must be willing to pay more than the current price of today in order for you to make any profit.
Literally anyone with the money to solve this:
-"I'm just gonna pretend we never heard that. "
@Nightfury Matthew its his investors not him he just makes the video
Why waste money?
How about reducing food waste and go forward with innovative use of food & more optimized agricultural techniques?
check syntropic farming > life in Syntropy on youtube
That’s super generic. You’re answer to an incredibly complex problem with a variety of variable was just to do what we do now, just do it better. If we could do it better right now, don’t you think we would be doing that?
Aquaponics is a great option
How about not breeding?

How about removing all tobacco farms and replacing them with farms that will feed the masses rather than killing them.
EM S the more dead the less to feed
we need to think like Thanos.
Stop that's too logical
What about removing million of acres of excess corn fields here in America?
@@ronanstark6218 let the hungry eat the homeless
I have started jack fruit trees on my property.
The biggest fruit on earth.
Doesn't require pesticides.
Produces 2 crops per year.
1000 lbs per tree.
Drought resistant.
I have seen it go 6 months without a drop of water.
4:06 see, even the most high tech engineering minds use duct tape to fix things 😂
Well wtf do you suggest to replace a such product as duct tape!?
@@ABAtrading flex tape
Fuck engineers, Gods use flex tape!
They are what I call Business Engineers. To maximise profit, use duct tape.
@4:03 rather
I've said this for years. We need to implement modern farms to a few skyscrapers in each major city that are big green houses would produce so much food and it would create many many jobs.
It's easy to assemble like Lego... I just see high tech material using countless of LEDs in order to produce lettuce that are mostly indegestible because it's basically only cellulose.
Bro Elon Musk already said he will upload us to Minecraft.
Just make a automated cow farm and we fine man.
just vegan food based on syntropic farming and we can feed 12 billion already, so easy
Fatehjot Singh so so so easy😒
Loool
@@ryanzacsanders
Only if you can pay that pricy amount for a dish
Fatehjot Singh Im not a machine, I want to enjoy what i eat and not eat grass
2026: starts planting other plants
2030: finds a fertillizer that grow plants in an instant
2050:"man, we have almost unlimited of food ?
Notice how none of the video mentioned any type of animal agriculture. It's simply not in our future.
Well first you need to farm crops so that you can even feed animals so obviously the focus here is on plants
It'll be for the rich only .
Sador11 Yeah, but the point is that we already produce enough to feed 10 billion people. We just use lots of the food we produce to feed cattle and pigs instead of using it to feed the people.
Mustardpocket we already produce enough food for 11 billion, the solution is socialism. 60% of all food in the US is wasted. under socialism that food would go to the hungry instead of being thrown away by capitalists
Kyle Monroe what?
Hmmm this make me feel like changing my carrier to do agriculture.
6:57 what a beautiful shot
I know people will hate on me for saying this, but here it goes anyway:
-We actually already produce enough food for more than 20 billion people (Not kidding) but most of it goes to feeding animals which we then eat, or some of it in the trash. Which leads to: Waste of food, waste of space, waste of energy, animal agriculture is bad for the environment AND the amount of meat and dairy products the average human consumes is far too much to be considered healthy or natural.
-I'm not saying everyone should go vegan or whatever, just saying that if a majority of the population cut their meat/dairy consumption by at least half and switched to a more plant-based diet we wouldn't have the problem with lack of food to begin with. (And people would be healthier + have less effect on the environment)
There you have it, 100% science based facts. But people hate the idea of change so it probably will never happen.
Animals should be out on pasture converting grass that we cannot eat and convert it to a product we can eat. Feeding animals food that we can allready eat is stupid
_Edvin_ we need nutrions from meat not to mention that eating vegetable would reduce the amount of oxygens produced or co2 being absorbed by plants since vegetables are plants and can absorb co2 and stuff

"All life based now on photosynthesis"
*several chemosynthetic organisms are tiping*
Unless you would like a permanent IV bag stuck in you, all we can eat either eats a photosynthetic organism or is a photosynthetic organism.
@@metalcake2288 Are you a chemosynthetic organism?
@@Qball914 To be honest, whether or not I'm a chemosynthetic organism is irrelevant to the argument I am trying to make. Currently, chemosynthetic organisms would go extinct if all forms of photosynthetic life went extinct.
@@metalcake2288 Got it so you're just a normal asshole. Nvm then.
I’m actually impressed by this
Average people dont have discipline, they have disciplined excuses.!
The real issue is birth control. Less people less required resources
People nowadays
think like Thanos man.
Simple solution that would work, but humans are too dumb and primal to go with it.
@@ronanstark6218 Birth control isn't like thanos, thanos kills birth control doesn't.
Yeah, while people in the west try to be asexual, the other countries around the world have a birth rate of 4.2 children for mother...
Why don't you take 8 billion of them and feed them to the other 2 billion
Soylent green?
JP instead stop planning for the 8 billion and let them decide their way of life and food.
Reading Jonathan Swift? 😂
Thank you for this
This Chinese model is the wave of the future for sure.
Very inspiring and I am happy they are hot on the issue this way.
@Robert legitd00d They eat, drink, and sleep like every other human on the planet.
Damn, his shirt game is STRONG!
If this can be implemented in big major cities, we wouldn't have to rely that much on imported foods, so that might help reduce the cost if it can be widespread
10 billions people by 2050, damn I want Thanos
*Planting costs and labor costs are lower but 1 bag of lettuce costs 11 times more than others on the shelf....wow!*
@Jason Tempel well said
A lettuce head costs $1-$3 in Toronto, Canada....no way in hell I'd pay $11-$33 for one.
Well it's not the lettuce that's expensive it's the research behind it
To get the prices to a similar level for both products you need a economy of scale.
No one:
Absolutely no one:

There's also a lab in the Weizmann Institute that works on improving photosynthesis. Specifically, making it faster.
Very cool
There's so much unused space on our planet, it's just that people tend to move towards people... hence hugely dense cities...
The key is to establish more smaller cities and improve the travel links/costs between them.
No, that would increase overall transport cost, and significantly increase energy use. While we probably wouldn't want all to live in a single gigacity, fewer and bigger cities are better for the environment.
@@jonnyaxelsson9940 It's a lot worse for mental health though.
Problem is simple governments and banks require constant increase in population in order to sustain taxes and banks to make profits. There needs to be a natural reduction of 1 billion people over the next hundred years in order to heal the planet. Not by mass murders but by educating people just to have replacement children. The concept of infinite growth on finite resources was a 20th-century model that could be sustained for that century, but today we have too many people taxing the resources of a finite planet
The problem ain't population, the problem is that the middle class and richer population will grow from 2 billion to 8 between 2000-2060, the population over the same period went from 6-10 billion
A 400% increase vs a 70% increase
I'll be interested to see also what impact lab-grown meat will have on feeding population, economy and environment. I'd be sure to jump across to that as a viable alternative as it becomes available. Anyone know what the latest on this is???
I hope agraculture technologies will develop fast because the Amazone is destroyed fastly for agraculture
Yeah, especially since vegan thing is popular
Kevin Thats kinda wrong. Most of the soy thats grown in deforested areas is used to feed pigs and cattle. Vegans aren’t to blame for the destruction of the rainforest
Automotive fuels today are made from 10% "biofuels" made from palm oil, thats extremly destruktive to rain forests and food production as well
@@yourlocaltoad5102 why don't they plant it in available are, oh wait they already used for planting healthy food
@@iloveheavymetalhi7640 yeah, i wonder who wants biofuel, probably those that wants fossil fuel banned, also what's the correlation between food production and palm oil ?
My country has a lot of agricultural lands, but there is not enough technology in it yet, farmers can sometimes go out of business or sometimes lose value on products that cost a lot of capital. This made them decide to sell their farmland. These are very worrying that in the future the country will face a shortage of agricultural land.
How awesome. I wantto grow a community garden. CZcams is very beneficial. Thanks for sharing. Many blessings to you for what you are doing. 🙏🌻💖🍉🌻🍓💜🌍🐝🐞🐛🦋🌻🌹🌈

IF we get to 10 Billion ppl, game over.
America is the only nation that has the extra capacity to feed the world ,but we like $$$$$ for our produce!
Does someone Know a Stock in this niche?
Check for elon musks brother
Yes grass indeed
There's so many places on this Earth that have food rotting on the ground but it's hard to reach right now!
Rice or wheat can be fully grown by hydroponics or aquaponics ?
Not quite, rice requires too much nutrients for that . :(
How do I start an implementation of stuffs like this in Africa
I love the Netherlands. Greetings from your neighbour Germany :)
I think it's going to be fungi that will do the biggest work. gotta stop spraying. gotta keep those fungi alive. gotta keep the soil alive. gotta stop tilling.
So the vertical farming in buildings is more efficient and saves resources, labor, and money, but yields lettuce that is 11 times the normal price? I'm all for it, like I was and am still for solar panel installations in new homes but that is a hefty price to pay for lettuce. It may be the case that a lot of that grown lettuce is just being tossed out at the end of the day since it is likely not being sold at all. I can understand 2x maybe 3x but 11x the regular price.
Reading some of these comments make me excited for the future
aquaponics is the way
I know someone who works at Trader Joe's they throw out so much fresh fruits and vegetables they have people come on the weekly to pick half of it up.
The future doesn't look too bright with 10 billion people.
We are way better off now today with a population of 7.7 billion than in 1970 with 3.7 billion. This is likely to continue, and we will be way better off than today when we have a population of 10.7 billion.
is there any resource online to learn the technique that the chinese are using ?
What happened to meal replacement? Seems like the most optimal solution to hunger.
They did this in Jamestown “People who won’t work will not eat”
I think it's better to think how we can distribute actually production's to all people around the world (economically sustainable) and reduce the wastes.
So in China, are they working with the peasant farmers to get them into this industry, or are these farmers going to no longer be able to sell their crops and thus, putting them out of work? Just curious.
Peasant farmers?
Farmers are put out of work everywhere. It has been, and still is, the main driver for urbanisation and migration. Both industrial and IT revolutions has had massive impact on agriculture, far fewer people produce vastly more food.
Jonny Axelsson I’m curious how this is going to affect their economy. Very interesting.
Judge Dredd they’re dying out anyways. The young have all left to find work in the cities. The villages are emptying out as China ages so there won’t be a need to give them new work anyways. In fact a lot of college graduates aren’t even allowed to return to the villages (if they come from one).
@@JudgeDredd_ With lettuces that are 11 times more expensive than traditionally farmed lettuce, there's nothing to worry about.
When they are able to factory farm dietary staples like rice, potatoes and wheat at or below the price of the traditionally farmed crops, then there will be cause for concern.
Don't they have these food factories in new Jersey
We should farm in the ocean a lot more, like maybe zero input shellfish like clams, oysters, and mussels
We've ruined our oceans between all the microplastics that have leached into them and the nuclear plants that have malfunctioned
Awesome this green revolution can provide produce better healthy food for our future together
I think the problem is that slowly most countries will become aging countries which cause a shortage of manpower like in japan
Not very sure about the idea of taking all the food production process indoors with led. Part of the planets cycle system includes these plants being outdoors. Lets find more ways to plant outside.
From the first 10 seconds I heard the all familiar dutch English accent 😆
Future food is Leaves (7:19)
Corn and soybeans and many other vegetables actually produce carbon emissions the means of production and the ways of agriculture produces a carbon footprint, improper crop rotation reduces soil nutrition making what its usefulness very limited to biofuels, high fructose corn syrup or food grain for livestock
三安的蔬菜很好！
TEN BILLION PEOPLE ! WTFFFFF need the start a business asapppp so I can exploit this huge population increase in people !!!!!
Yep Hydroponics or Aquaponics is the future
In the US 40% of food we produce never get eaten
So food wastage is the dumbest problem we have and probably the most easiest problem to solve. This could stop 20% of green house emission in the world.
Rabin Timilsina how do we solve it?
@@malaciousmark3903 just don't buy food more than we need and a research said the larger refrigerator we have, more food we waste. So people should buy small refrigerator which will make them store less food and hence less wastage and it also emit less CFCs so it's a win win for everybody

i really love human ingenuity to stand fast in front of big problems and work together to solve them
arnold shmitt did you forget about climate change?
@@TomCook1993 There is much ingenuity going into solving this problem too, though the main component of a solution will have to be: Stop burning fossil fuel.
@Pool Bal There is no fixed deadline. The slower and later we stop the greater the mess we will make and the more costly the cleanup.
We could have and should have done more earlier, at a smaller cost, but it is never too late. The question is only how much suffering we want to inflict on ourselves.
In the 1700s they said we would never be able to feed 1 billion people. In the 50’s they said we would never be able to feed 4 billion. Here we are today, almost 8 billion and famine has disappeared outside of war zones. Humans are smart, and humanity will innovate itself out of problems, just how we always have. We are doing to today with climate change, we will do it tomorrow with food.
Yeah, but im not a machine, I want to enjoy my food and not just eat grass, I want to eat like a human and enjoy life.
dD Lithuania your whole “eat like a human” statement is completely wrong. We as humans aren’t meant to eat one specific food source. We eat what we can get to survive. Keep in mind that I’m not vegan or vegetarian, I like meat just as much as any other, but I’m actually open to change
Prod. Border I dont just eat meat, I like to eat mixed and have different tastes and because im in farming (crop, meat) buisness I understand enough to not feel bad when I eat meat and not just green stuff
Veganism to feed all people

PresidentialWinner You must be fun at parties.
Today, 795 million people are hungry. Another 2 billion are expected to join them by 2050. However, global food production is incredibly efficient. The world’s farmers produce enough food to feed 1.5x the global population. That’s enough to feed 10 billion (we are at 7.6 billion currently). Despite this excess, hunger still exists.
I doubt that
These indoor farms are exactly what I thought 2020 would look like.
Why it is always lettuce or some other greens? What about rice, wheat and other vegetables...
Cause lettuce is pretty easy to grow and harvested faster. Rice and wheat take months to grow and also harder to grow.
SALUTES AND CHEERS!
That's the same what I thought ;)
I doubt their stock is publicly traded and doubt if it was it would pay dividends
If it's true that agriculture causes more non CO2 greenhouse gas emissions than anything else, then it's the vegetarians that are contributing more to global warming than meat eaters are. I'm not advocating more meat eating and destroying more land for cattle, but eating less meat is not necessarily the answer to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
5:36 I can only imagine the amount of concentrated run off fertilizer coming from this single area.... 20-30x more than agricultural land... I hope the video is about to cover that aspect of the growing problem because it's severe, especially here on the mississippi river where I am.
Euclidean Plane hydroponic systems use 90% less fertilizer and 98% less water than traditional agricultural farming. The water is reused and the plants only given what then needed so please do your research:)
@@TommyPestolis Traditional agricultural farming? You mean farming that involves no chemical fertilizers at all and uses rain water? dumb bitch.
Lets see, by your measurements, 90% less fertilizer, in 20-30 times of a concentrated area, so maybe 200 - 300% higher concentrated chemical fertalizer runoff?
Hmmm, is it so unreasonable for me to state " I hope the video is about to cover that aspect " that you have to bring up some arbitrary nonsense and then undermine / belittle me by saying I haven't done research? hmmmmmmmmmmm
I want all those plants in my garden 😭
If they can automate the whole process, then we've got a revolutionary new way of farming coming soon
look at how peach-pink that tomato is in 6:54.
Q: How do we feed 10 billion people?
A: We won’t...
Everyone should have a garden in their back yard producing at least 2~3 days worth of food for every week
Yeah, like everyone have time or energy to do it, let alone a garden that actually can have that much food.

From inorganic to organic to now super organic.
i would like people in these plant factories to produce something that actually has high callaries.
